Family Tree DNA's Annual Holiday Sale Begins a Little Early This Year!

I just returned home from the wonderfully inspiring Family Tree DNA Conference held last weekend in Houston and received an email announcing the start of their seven week holiday sale. So, if you have been wanting to order a DNA test for yourself or as a gift, please see below for the annual holiday sale prices.

As
we ended our 8th Annual Genetic Genealogy
Conference, several conference participants asked
us to start our year-end sale as soon as possible.
In answer to those requests we decided to start it
immediately:

I know that many of you are waiting for my annualconference summary. I am working on getting that together as quickly as possible for you, but in the mean time, Roberta Estes has a very comprehensive summary on her blog DNAeXplained. and Jennifer Zinck has her review of Day 1 on her blog Ancestor Central. Enjoy!

Hi Supergrrl7 - I'm so sorry that I hadn't seen this. Assuming that you are a girl from your moniker, then you would order an autosomal DNA test - called Family Finder at FTDNA. You should also join one of the groups under "Resources" so we can teach you how to interpret the results.

If you were a male, I would recommend a Y-DNA 37 marker (at least) test to start.CeCe
